            The end to this madness is for renders to recognise
            that the landuse=forest needs to be rendered
            differently from natural=wood.
            The essential difference between the two is that
            landuse must have some human benefit, a produce, and a
            clear way of doing that is to add the rendering of a
            axe to the tree.


        (1) in a typical rendering this distinction is completely
        unimportant
        or at least not worth different rendering

        (2) other people have different mismatching ideas what is the
        "real" difference between natural=wood and landuse=forest

        (3) there is no consistent difference in how natural=wood
        and landuse=forest are used
        by mappers

        If the is no difference between the two then there will be
        no problem depreciating landuse=forest.


    First of all: "there many, many opinions how natural=wood and
    landuse=forest differ and
    some people think that his makes distinction between this tags
    useless" is not the same as
    "there is no difference".

    And landuse=forest is used more than three million times
    https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=forest

        If there is no produce than it is not landuse=forestry.

    Note that many are not using "forestry" to mean "using  forest  to
    produce wood".

    People within OSM are using landuse=forestry to mean that it
    provides some produce for human benefit.

    The key 'landuse' is about the human use of that land.
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse
    "used to describe the primary use of land by humans. "

    It is not what is there .. but what the use is by humans.
    If there is concrete there, or a swamp .. that does not determine
    what the use is.
    The concrete could for a roadway, or a sports court.
    The swamp could be a native reserve, or a waste water filtration
    system.

It is not changing that attempting to use landuse=forestry for "forest and associated area
that is used to produce wood" mismatches with meaning of word forestry.

What definition of the word 'forestry' are you referring?

And a follow up question  :)

How are areas zoned/set aside to produce timber from trees to be tagged?
The trees are not always there - like crops on a farm field.
So tagging it for trees is wrong - like tagging a farmers field for plants that are not always there. It is a land use - there is a produce for the land and that produce is for human use, so it meets the key landuse requirements.
So what value is suitable for these areas?
